Senior Research Specialist I Offering Expert Petition Writing for EB1A / EB1B Green Card Applications

Profile Summary

With over a decade of experience in translational research and firsthand success navigating the EB1 process, I now assist individuals in preparing high-quality EB1A/EB1B petitions that highlight their achievements with clarity, strategy, and impact. I am a Senior Research Specialist and scientific writer with over 16 years of experience in translational oncology, hematologic malignancies, and cancer genomics. My work bridges cutting-edge molecular research and scientific communication, with a particular focus on aggressive B-cell lymphomas (including HGBCL, Burkitt lymphoma, and DLBCL) and T-follicular helper–like lymphomas such as AITL. I hold a PhD in Human Genetics, with formal postdoctoral training in molecular hematopathology from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My research has uncovered key mechanisms driving lymphomagenesis, including MYC–TP53–ARF axis dysregulation, miR-17~92-mediated BCR signaling activation, and epigenetic mutations in TET2, IDH2R172K, and DNMT3A. I have developed CRISPR-edited in vivo and ex vivo models, performed phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic profiling, and identified therapeutic vulnerabilities with translational relevance. I have published extensively in top-tier journals, including Cell, Blood, Clinical Cancer Research, and the American Journal of Hematology, and have been recognized with the ASH Achievement Award (2019, 2024) for my contributions to hematologic cancer research. In parallel, I offer deep expertise in scientific and medical writing, with a proven track record in manuscript preparation, grant writing, literature reviews, and oncology-focused content development. I specialize in translating complex experimental data into clear, impactful narratives tailored for academic, clinical, and industry audiences. I welcome collaborations and freelance opportunities in scientific communication, oncology research consulting, and medical writing—particularly in the areas of lymphoma biology, immuno-oncology, biomarker discovery, and genomics-driven therapeutics.
